Bitcoin, As THE Money

When I buy something with #money, it looks like the exchange is complete.

But reality shows quickly it is only half of an exchange.

Let us assume that #wealth in the #economic sense is the same thing as all goods and services. And that wealth cannot possibly be money, in this universe. Because then we're talking in the metaphysical sense, not the economic one. Are we scientists, or not!

Exchanges, in the final analysis are goods and services, exchanged for other goods and services. Wealth, exchanged for other wealth.

Money is the imaginary intermediation for each complete and whole exchange of wealth, for other wealth.

Money is like credit - a promise to pay which apparently happens immediately  when I hand over #cash for wealth.

But the actuality is different if you analyse it inherently. The promise to pay is not for the immediate goods exchanged. It is the promise that whoever gave up the initial goods will be able to get the same value in goods on the other side of the exchange later on. It is still a #credit loan effectively.

So when I give money for coffee, the money is only taken because the trader knows another trader will accept it equally when they too want to buy the wealth they desire.

Money is a half credit or promise to pay on whomever has given up wealth for it. The other half of the credit is made later on, again for goods and services, completing the exchange.

You cannot own credit. That is like saying you can own an idea. Money, in this universe, cannot be wealth. It is used to exchange wealth. It is not really the money we want, but the things you can buy with it. Money is not wealth. And very great danger comes to the world, when it starts to believe in that illusion.

Sure, you can own the paper, metal and digital signatures which are token proxies masquerading with utility for wealth. But while these #tokens, made from commodities, are in use as token money, they cannot be used up as commodities simultaneously. As soon as you try to use them up as commodities they cease to be money and you likely have wasted something of much higher buying value foolishly.

THE money used by a community as a currency, will always be the most exchanged commodity, in that time and place. Presently, this is the debit money of cards and phones.

I've been asking the #Bitcoin community if they think the most exchanged thing will one day be a chain of digital signatures secured by proof of work.

But I cannot get a sensible answer from them. I believe this is because they still think Bitcoin will bring about an anti government,anti bank and anonymous revolution. They are not yet ready to consider the possibility that Bitcoin is just the latest form of money with potential to be THE money.

This is an essential question the Bitcoin community is urgently avoiding. Because it brings their ideology under serious scrutiny. But does this community want success for the whole world? Or just itself and it's ideal?

Is the Bitcoin community really as serious about this as they want to be seen as? Not yet I think. They'd better hurry up and decide to be ready for the great recession in 2026. For then it might be urgently called on by the people of the world.

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States (UKEXIT)

A Dialogue on the UK's Accession to the United States Executive Summary This initiative seeks to foster a formal dialogue regarding the potential accession of the countries of the United Kingdom , to the United States , as individual states.  Being English the main focus is for the country of England to accede. The original intent was to ask the government to lead on it through a petition leading to the question coming before the House of Commons. This was crushed out of hand by the committee leading petitions, which was not a surprise.  Simply put, this petition is asking the government to start a conversation about the benefits of leaving the UK and joining the United States. Let us call the initiative UKEXIT (yukezit) The objective is to evaluate the benefits to citizens and stakeholders, encouraging a constructive discourse on the political, economic, and social implications of such a union. If Wales , Northern Ireland , Scotland , or  England were to leave the Unit...

The 450 Volt Truth: From Orwell to Obedience

A Complete Thread on Dystopia, Milgram, and Breaking the Agentic State - Why People Act Irrationally and Often Violently When a Tribal Social Structure and Its Hierarchy Are Brought Under Serious Scrutiny This is a tricky topic. Please read the Obedience Glossary of Terms before proceeding Executive Summary This piece was written from a long conversation with Grok. I had to interrogate the AI quite a bit. And was astonished at how it produced such intelligence. I've included the most pertinent parts. Do not be fooled into thinking this is just another Orwell analysis. That is just setting the scene well. For what comes later on the agentic state and how power uses it to control the masses.  It may not have all the answers. It might wrong. A lot of it is very hard to believe is happening. But it still seems to fit the bizarre world of system wide dissonance we all live and partake in today, better than all the alternatives. So deserves your continued attention. By all means make yo...

Government & Tax Death Toll

I'm going to show you how government and taxation causes more excess death than any other factor, even global wars and pandemics. It is and always has been the biggest genocide of all. And its deliberate. Government doesn’t just fail to save lives — it takes them, at scale.  2–6 million globally 200K–400K in the U.S. 50K–80K in the UK Every year. Every tax. Every regulation. Cumulatively since 1970 government and tax killed between 160 and 300 million people across the globe  More than all 20th century wars and genocides combined (260M) In the U.S. ten times more than all U.S. combat deaths in history (10 * 1.2M) In the UK equivalent to 1 in 15 of all deaths And the nations with more regulations and a higher tax to GDP ratio such as the UK and US, tend to kill more of their own citizens per capita. The poorest nations have a better record than the richest. All this excess death is rooted in the institutions of taxation - the theft of private property, by force, against your fr...
